World Junior Championships

[ClydeLee]

How does him playing on this dumpster fire with a bunch of overpaid losers who don’t even try help him?

Its nhl time and he's growing and getting more of it. Getting more powerplay time too. Boqvist still makes sense because he's mostly just in the AHL

 

[Kevin Musto]

Dach would have been a Canadian hero and boosted his marketability a ton.

He misses like a week or two of NHL time. That ain't deterring his development.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Any word on dach if he's going to the world juniors?

If you can’t tell by us pissed off Canadians, he’s not going.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Yeah, Dach and Boqvist are staying. I'm sure the Swedes are pretty upset too.

Ok thanks. Sorry for team Canada. But I'm glad he's staying up with the hawks.

 

[magnificent]

You don't need to be Canadian to be upset that he isn't going there. WJC is a big tournament. And he could have a great experience playing a big role for his national team. In addition, such opportunity appears once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

Or playing 10-12 minutes for a team where he is maybe the only one who really cares is better? The FO sure thinks so, I guess, because they're still competing. Yeah. They need "pieces".

Still not seeing the outrage.

So are Regula, Teply and Saarela the only Hawk prospects in the WJC?

Looks like it. Very lame.

 

[Section88]

Let dach go have fun for a week or two. This team is going no where anyways.

 

[Styles]

How does going to the WJC benefit him?

It’s a once in a life time opportunity but if it’s me and I already made the show I wouldn’t give a shit.

It's literally his dream. f*** the front office.

 

[Section88]

It's literally his dream. **** the front office.

Yeah. Seems kindof shitty of them.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Great news. Right move for Kirby, he is NHL quality and should stay up.

Yep. 3 weeks of NHL time is better than flying to the Czech rep and playing for junior teams. And then jet lagging your way back after.

More consistent just to stay and train, and play against NHL comp. less exciting for some fans though.

Kirbys dream came true 6 months ago at the draft and he’s living it everyday.

One can have more than one dream. World Juniors are a BIG DEAL in Canada. A third of the population watches. I know it's hard to comprehend because the US has only won a meager 4 times, but it's a huge event.

And besides an 18-year-old kid could use a break from the dreariness that must be dominating Hawks dressing room these days.

Precisely. Winning gold for Canada as the team's 1C is gonna be a whole lot more encouraging than hanging around an absent captain, and returning home from optional practices to be greeted by Seabs arms deep in a bucket of KFC.

Yeah it’s super hard to comprehend that Canada loses their shit over a limited tournament with an age cap. I’m f***ing with you too by the way. I wouldn’t have cared if Kirby went either. Just getting ready for some chirping for the WJC when USA curb stomps your ass.

10/10 post right there.

Maybe it’s best that @AmericanDream is on a break right now

Why?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Why?

Last year he got a little worked up over the WJC remember?
